TTCAL 7/26

[jlincoln]

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC

Diagnosis (if applicable): poor egg quality, thin lining

Updates/questions: No updates, in the 2ww in first cycle after loss. Not hopeful and will do an IUI next month before moving back to IVF.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): So many pregnancy announcements - it's really getting hard to handle and contemplating a FB break.

QOTW: If you had the power to be invisible at free random. What would you do? I've been interviewing for new jobs, so would love to hear the conversations had after I've been in.

[icedtea]

jlincoln, I'm sorry. Definitely take a break if you need it, be kind to yourself.

[icedtea]

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC

Diagnosis (if applicable): endometriosis, cp

Updates/questions: In our last cycle before we start testing/see an RE. I have an appointment for August 23rd, and am not charting this month in an effort to ignore it all for a bit.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): I'm not feeling very optimistic about this cycle, and am having Feelings about moving to the next stage.

QOTW: If you had the power to be invisible at free random. What would you do? Hmm, I have a snarky political answer, but the nicer one is that I'd go on long walks, with no one able to bother me.

[pinkcat]

Hugs jlincoln, pregnancy announcements can be so tough to see. Maybe a Facebook break is just what you need.

icedtea Good luck this cycle! I totally understand your feelings on moving to the next stage, it's tough to accept. FX that you won't need to.

AFM, I did my first medicated cycle this month (Femara and TI) and it was a bust CD1 will be here later today I believe, and I had big temp drops plus a negative test this AM. My hopes of being pregnant by our due date are dwindling and I'm just so sad that instead of having a baby in September like we should, we will still most likely just be trying.

[icedtea]

pinkcat, I'm so sorry, that is a tough milestone. Hugs.

[PepperPottsJ]

Thank you for starting @samrs22
jlincoln all the hugs, I've definitely kept off of fb lately
icedtea also all the hugs, I was nervous leading into my first RE appointment, but them immediately felt empowered.
pinkcat more and more hugs!

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC cycle 15/ 1 AL

Diagnosis (if applicable):AMA, fibroids

Updates/questions: Just waiting...

Debbie downer (a place to vent): I quite seriously look like a teenager and my skin is making me ragey.

QOTW: If you had the power to be invisible at free random. What would you do? I'm quite stuck between would I follow my boos all day, or would i lurk my MIL!?

[icedtea]

Thanks PepperPottsJ, I'm looking forward to the empowered feeling Sorry about the breakouts, mine has been doing that lately too. Hormones and weather, man. I hope it clears up.

[doodler]

How are you doing? I'm ok.

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched):TTC

Diagnosis (if applicable): Unicorn uterus, RPL, AMA

Updates/questions: Loss #4 is in the books and I'm over it. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): One of my best friends is having a MMC right now after 5 years of fertility struggles and her first pregnancy. She just scheduled the D&C. I'm just mad at the world. I am so sad for her that she has to experience this after all her struggles to get pregnant.

QOTW: If you had the power to be invisible at free random. What would you do? So many things. I don't think I could pick just one. Mainly I would spy on people though, lol.

[kayladawn91]

How are you doing? Going crazy

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC, somewhere in Cyle 13/Month 17 AL

Diagnosis (if applicable): N/A, continuing IF testing next cycle

Updates/questions: Nothing. Anyone feel like doing a chart stalk for me? I don't agree with my CHs and I'm not sure if I really even O'd yet. I thought maybe CD 27 was a possibility until my temp today. This cycle is making me crazy. Vacation screwed up my chart.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): Nothing new

QOTW: I don't know. I like jlincoln 's idea of spying on the interview committee after an interview. I would really love to know what the last interview committee said about me since I really thought I did well.

[PepperPottsJ]

doodler so many hugs

[wannabmama]

jlincoln, Take care of yourself, step away from FB if you need the break! I like your idea for being invisible, that would definitely come in handy!

icedtea, taking that next step can definitely be hard, but I also found myself a little relieved to feel like I had a slight bit of control again (of course, we never really have control, but I at least had something new to focus on).

pinkcat, the milestones are hard. hugs.

PepperPottsJ,omg, lurking my MIL could be terrifying...or totally fascinating. Mine is totally nuts...

doodler, so many big hugs

kayladawn91, vacations always screw up my temping...and my cycle. If I travel, my body freaks out. I can't really tell from your chart, what are your usual pre and post O temps, if they are consistent? Sometimes that helps me decipher my own weird charts.

How are you doing?

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC

Diagnosis (if applicable): so much old and slow

Updates/questions: finally in the cycle before the IVF cycle!

Debbie downer (a place to vent): for me, my wedding anniversary is a hard milestone--we rushed to get married b/c we knew I was "older" and it could take awhile and we definitely wanted kids. And it's our second anniversary and all we have are failed cycles and losses.

QOTW: If you had the power to be invisible at free random. What would you do? I love the idea of spying on the interview committee after I interview, I'm stealing that one...though there are plenty of other people I would like to spy on, too.

[PepperPottsJ]

wannabmama so much love, literally 2 weeks from our 2nd anniversary also, I am ghost hugging you and your thoughts

[wannabmama]

edit, gif fail...how can I do this on tapatalk and not on a real computer?! I am backwards.

edit again...I fixed it! thank goodness.

PepperPottsJ ,

[pinkcat]

PepperPottsJ The waiting is so hard. Hugs

doodler That sounds so hard. I'm so sorry, for both you and your friend.

kayladawn91 I'm not great with chart stalks so I'll leave that to the experts, but GL with testing next cycle! Hopefully you did O already so you can get the testing continued.

wannabmama I understand what you mean about the wedding anniversary. Every anniversary we have had so far I assumed we would have kids by the next one, we are on our 3rd in August and still here. TTC is such a mindfuck. Hugs- I hope this cycle goes by quickly for you so that it is finally your August IVF cycle!

[PepperPottsJ]

kayladawn91 vacation is always the toughest for charting, which I dread resuming!

[kayladawn91]

Ugh. I just realized my 2 year anniversary of when we first started TTC is next week too.

[kayladawn91]

jlincoln hugs. I've taken a few FB breaks since my loss. Sometimes it's needed.

icedtea I'm sorry you're not feeling good about this cycle. FX you don't need the next step, but know that we're here for you if you do. It's definitely a hard thing to accept.

pinkcat so many hugs

PepperPottsJ sorry for the breakouts. I didn't check in last week to see your first post here, sorry you find yourself here but welcome. We're here for whatever you need.

doodler I'm so sorry, all the hugs for you

wannabmama sorry for the milestone.

@samrs22 I hope you don't need the RE appt, but GL if you do. And I hope your family can become more understanding for you and be supportive. Also LOL at your answer to the QOTW. Wouldn't that be great? And they wouldn't even know it was you!!

[icedtea]

@samrs22, I hope you're able to cancel the appointment (and screw the people who aren't letting you feel what you need to). It's great that you were able to speak up to your family, I hope they're there for you the way you need them to be. Also, I change my QOTW answer to yours.

kayladawn91 thank you. Hugs for your upcoming anniversary. Endless hate for vacation temping. I'm a sucky chart stalker, so I can't really make anything out there.

wannabmama, hugs for you too. Good luck in this pre-IVF cycle!

[icedtea]

I gave in and took temps yesterday and today morning, out of curiosity. I know, trends and blah blah, but I have enough data to roughly know where temps fall. They're still low enough that I've either *just* ovulated, or haven't yet. Whatever, told H we must keep having sex.
